‘The more we collaborate, the better’: LINA welcomes ABC news sharing expansion
The ABC is going to start sharing digital news content regionally in 2026
The Local and Independent News Association (LINA) has welcomed an ABC proposal to expand its regional content sharing program, saying it would be a good use of public resource that need not conflict with commercial operators.
The ABC is currently building a system where it will share major event coverage with regional publishers. Newsrooms in the partnership will be able to run ABC News digital content on “significant events”, which include weather crises, accidents, protests and other emergencies.
The system is due to go live next year.
In a Senate Estimates committee last week, ABC managing director Hugh Marks said he would like to expand the remit of the system to include general local content.
